He has two tumors on his heart. With that sentence you can see down the road. Make A Wish will not touch this because I guess it’s it is illegal just to be a hacker for good or some bs. I grew up in the era of where you could download a program, ie napster, limewire, icq and be on your way. I keep searching for good hackers but it seems like they have that rep of bad. Please help…Posting this in different communities to help out btw so don’t get jealous. Much love to all.

    What you want is called white-hat (as opposed to black-hat) hacking. You could also explore ethical hacking.

      Not getting on to you but how do I explain the difference’s to a 10 year old and what does a white hate or black hat do? And where does one go to get a beginners book? Well I guess a website that starts from the floor to the top?? And is challenging?

        A locksmith is white hat. They provide a service with the consent of the other party, and they might be compensated for it.

        A burglar is black hat.
